iPhones have reached their peak & are now a boring sequel year after year.

This may garner a lot of hate in an iPhone loving community, but as a fellow iPhone user myself, I have to say this out. Each year, we hear the same old crap about “exciting” new phones & see the same old phone being relaunched with a few MINOR tweaks.

Gone are the days of innovation & exciting features. The hype has plateau-ed now & it’s just repackaging of yesteryear’s phone in a new “fibre based, eco-friendly, carbon neutral box”.

I’ve been using the 13 since it launched & still am pretty happy with its performance so far. But I usually upgrade to a new phone every 3-4 years, despite how good they may be. I was planning to get the 16 now but after the launch, I’m thoroughly disappointed.

It’s 2024 (about to end) now & still.. STILL THE BASE MODELS ARE 60Hz!! No, you cannot tell me that “it’s the smoooooothest 60Hz panel ever”! If I’m paying a premium price for a premium phone, I need premium features & 120Hz isn’t even premium anymore, it’s a BARE MINIMUM!

No new exciting features & no reasonable upgrades that justify me buying a new phone.

Cameras? Just changed the orientation again… boring.

A18 Bionic? 20% Faster than fast.. boring.

Charging? Same old SLOW 20W… boring.

Screen? Same old 60Hz.. boring

Battery? Still gonna last just one day initially… boring.

Still no Fingerprint sensor/touchID as an alternative method for unlocking.

Still the same old boring & slow USB-C version. No thunderbolt C port (in base variants)

Even the AirPods Pro & Max were not upgraded. They just got either ONE new feature or a Type-C port as a new feature!

Nearly a decade now since AirPods launched & we still don’t have multiple colour options. It’s just plain white & boring.

Something seriously needs to change at Apple. I want to be excited about a new iPhone again!

Sorry for the rant, but it needed to be said.
